Shen Yulou shook his head gently.

She raised her eyes to look at Shen Fengxu, but Shen Fengxu always looked at her calmly and calmly, his eyes as clear as water, without any extra emotion, as if the person standing in front of Shen Fengxu was just an insignificant stranger. .

Shen Yulou spoke softly: "I know you wrote that policy paper."

She should have replaced Shen Fengxu's original position. If Shen Fengxu had preserved this policy paper well and if she had not learned from the content of this policy paper, Shen Fengxu would have won the first place.

But Shen Yulou was also a little puzzled. Why didn't Shen Fengxu write this policy paper in the assessment that day? Instead, he wrote a mediocre policy paper with no new ideas?

Is it an ulterior motive or a momentary forgetfulness?

But no matter what, even though he knew that Shen Fengxu had ulterior motives, Shen Yulou still wanted to become the Ninth Princess's companion. If he had the opportunity to meet the nobles of the palace, his future would be bright and unlimited.

"Sister, what do you mean by these words?" Chen Fengxu couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words, and said, "Don't say these nonsense. If this spreads, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. If it reaches the ears of others, it will be exposed. I have reported the eldest sister, and the eldest sister herself is fine, but what if I am implicated?"

"Why?" Shen Yulou looked at Shen Fengxu intently.

Shen Yulou wanted to know a reason, but Shen Fengxu did not tell Shen Yulou. Instead, he sighed and said: "Sister, I probably misunderstood. This policy paper was not written by Feng Xu. Feng Xu is very talented and has little knowledge. How could he write it?" You have such a good policy? But you, eldest sister, are outstanding in literary talent, knowledgeable, and well-informed. Your articles are so original that Feng Xu cannot catch up with you."

After that, Shen Fengxu said no more, and just said: "Fengxu is going back to rest first." Then he and Dansha got up and left.

Shen Yulou stood still, watching Shen Fengxu's leaving figure. It was not until the eldest lady came out of the hall that Shen Yulou and the eldest lady left together.

…

Shen Yulou will enter the palace in a few days.

The eldest lady had already made plans to tailor new clothes for Shen Yulou. She invited the best tailors and craftsmen in Beijing to tailor clothes and jewelry for Shen Yulou. The materials and workmanship used were all top-notch in Beijing. She was filled with joy. Waiting to enter the palace in a few days.

On this day, Chen Fengxu was sitting in the Moon-Wang Pavilion in Dongning Bo's house.

She happened to see a man in civilian clothes walking on the bluestone path. Shen Fengxu glanced at Cinsha next to him. Cinsha immediately understood and walked forward and shouted: "The people in front of you, stop!"

The man in cloth hurriedly stopped and turned around to look. When he saw that the person who came was a maidservant in bright and decent clothes, he knew that this must be a first-class maidservant beside his master. He hurriedly raised his hand and said, "What is this girl doing?"

Dan Sha looked him up and down and asked, "Who are you and why have I never seen you before?"

The man in commoner clothes said: "I am the jade craftsman invited by your lady to make jewelry for your lady."

Hearing that the person in front of him was a jade craftsman, Dan Sha nodded and said, "In that case, come with me. Our girl wants to see you."

The jade carpenter was very confused for a moment, but he still said: "Okay, please ask the girl to lead the way."

Dansha then led the jade worker to the Moon-Wang Pavilion. The jade worker then raised his head and saw Chen Fengxu. He saw that her eyebrows were pretty and her eyebrows were slender. Even when she wasn't smiling, they were as curved as the moon. She seemed to have a gentle and calm aura. Although her appearance is not as beautiful as that of the big girl I saw before, she still has her own elegant and romantic demeanor.

Chen Fengxu smiled lightly and said, "You must be the jade craftsman invited by Madam, right?"

The jade craftsman was flattered by Shen Fengxu's attitude, and he hurriedly said: "Don't you dare, I'm just a craftsman."

"Sir, why are you so polite? Since you were invited by my mother, you must have exquisite carvings and superb skills. You can stand out among so many craftsmen in the capital. You are naturally extraordinary." Shen Fengxu's voice was like a spring breeze blowing on his face, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The jade carpenter was still a little uneasy at first, but now he calmed down a little and said: "Young lady is overly praised."

"Sir, are you going to make jewelry for my eldest sister? Do you have any ideas?" Shen Fengxu asked as if he was very curious.

"I heard that the eldest girl likes crabapples, so I plan to carve some crabapple flowers on the jewelry..." The jade craftsman said, taking out the drawings from his arms and saying, "That's it, I have already made many, so I should It will be ready in less than two days.”

Chen Fengxu picked it up and looked at it, then smiled and said: "It's really exquisite and beautiful, but it's just a pity..."

When Chen Fengxu said this, he paused for a moment, and there seemed to be regret in his words.

The jade craftsman was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly asked: "What's the pity that the girl is talking about?"

"Actually, the eldest sister doesn't like begonia flowers that much." Shen Fengxu put down the drawing and said softly, "Sir, you may not know something. The reason why there are so many begonia flowers on the eldest sister's original clothes and jewelry is not because the eldest sister likes begonia flowers." , In fact, my mother likes begonia flowers, and my eldest sister has always been filial and uses them all the time. What my eldest sister likes most is not begonia flowers, but azaleas. If my husband can make a piece of azalea jewelry, I think eldest sister will be even more happy."

"Is what the girl said true?" the jade worker couldn't help but ask.

Chen Fengxu nodded and said very seriously: "That's natural. My eldest sister and I have grown up together since childhood and are very close. I naturally know my eldest sister's preferences very well."

"Thank you, miss, for informing me. I understand," the jade craftsman said gratefully.

"In that case, sir, please go back and make it as soon as possible." Shen Fengxu smiled slightly and said, "I think my eldest sister will like the jewelry made by my husband very much."

After saying that, Chen Fengxu said to Dansha: "Dansha, please send sir back quickly."

"yes."

After the jade craftsman left, Chen Fengxu said to Dan Sha, "Where is the tailor now?"

"I heard from Hua Qing that it's in the north courtyard."

Chen Fengxu stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."

The master and servant went to the north courtyard together.

The tailor was making new clothes in the courtyard. Shen Fengxu's sudden arrival made the tailor startled and he hurriedly said, "I've seen Miss Six before."

Shen Fengxu just glanced at the new clothes on the tailor's table and said with a smile: "No wonder sir is the tailor hired by my mother personally. The workmanship is so fine and the patterns on it are lifelike. It's very beautiful and beautiful. It's really lovely." .”

"Thank you Miss Six for the compliment. These are things a villain should do," the tailor said with a smile.

Shen Fengxu's hand gently stroked the clothes, and felt that it was warm and silky to the touch. It was the finest floating cloud brocade. Such good material was hard to find even in the capital. I think the eldest lady spent a lot of money on it. Yes, but it is quite worth spending so much for Shen Yulou.

Chen Fengxu said softly: "Eldest sister has always liked azaleas. If sir can embroider a few azaleas on the clothes, not only will the clothes look more beautiful, but eldest sister will also like them very much."

The tailor couldn't help but become confused and asked: "A girl likes azaleas?" He had never heard of it, but looking at the begonia flowers commonly seen on Shen Yulou's clothes, Shen Yulou must like begonia flowers.

Shen Fengxu just smiled lightly: "Yes, sir, it's normal for you to know something when you are new here. If you don't believe it, you can ask Mr. Jade Cartoon. Mr. Jade Cartoon also knows this."

"Thank you, miss, for informing me." The tailor said hurriedly, having some conclusions in his mind.

After leaving the North Courtyard, the master and servant walked on the road together.

Cinsha couldn't help but asked strangely: "Girl, why do you let them embroider azaleas on the eldest girl's jewelry and clothes? What's the use of this?"

Chen Fengxu smiled lightly and said, "I like the Queen but not azaleas."

This is a secret from the palace.

It was also many years after Shen Fengxu married Mingshu that she heard about this incident while chatting with others.

Queen Hu came from a distinguished family. Her father was the head of the Hu family, and her mother was also a noblewoman in the capital. She was the eldest daughter of the family, but when Queen Hu was fifteen or sixteen years old, her biological mother He died of illness, and then the head of the Hu family married another wife.

The new lady was cruel and ruthless and took charge of the affairs of the palace. Queen Hu was already fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, so she naturally disdained the new lady and made a fuss. The relationship between the two became like fire and water. The new lady was also Queen Hu. The person I hate the most.

The new lady doesn't have many hobbies, the only thing she likes is azaleas.

Because the new lady is the mistress of the Hu family, there are azaleas everywhere in the Hu family. When the azaleas are in full bloom, the entire Hu Mansion is filled with gorgeous azaleas, and the sky is blocked by azaleas. And Queen Hu Every time I see azaleas, I feel like I'm seeing a new lady.

Empress Hu hated him deeply.

Later, although the new wife died, Empress Hu still hated azaleas. All the azaleas in the Hu family had disappeared, moved or destroyed. In short, there are no azaleas in the Hu family now.

The same is true in the palace.

There is absolutely no azalea in Queen Hu's Kunning Palace. Even azalea clothing, jewelry, and even some patterns cannot have azalea patterns.

Things related to azaleas are the things that Queen Hu hates the most.

Therefore, Shen Fengxu was very curious. What would it be like if Shen Yulou stood in front of Queen Hu a few days later, dressed like an azalea?

Hearing this, Dansha asked, "How did the girl know?"

"No doubt I just heard about it." Shen Fengxu smiled slightly, "Let's not mention these, we are just waiting to watch the show in the future."

Dan Sha nodded in understanding.

…

A few days later.

When Shen Yulou received the clothes and jewelry from the tailor and jade craftsman, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Without him, there are azalea patterns on the clothes and jewelry, but she never said that she likes azaleas, but the tailor and the jade craftsman don't know where the tacit understanding comes from, and they both use azaleas as the core of their clothes and jewelry.

The clothes are still very beautiful and beautiful.

Although Shen Yulou didn't like azaleas, but his tailoring skills were excellent, he didn't bother with this trivial matter. After putting on his clothes and jewelry, he dressed up, got into the carriage, and set off for the palace.

Because it was Shen Yulou's first time entering the palace, the eldest lady did not trust Shen Yulou. She accompanied Shen Yulou all the way to the palace gate, but she could only stop there.

A maid came to lead Shen Yulou to Kunning Palace.

Shen Yulou followed the palace maid all the way through the long and quiet corridor and headed towards Kunning Palace.

Shen Yulou wanted to ask the maid about matters in the palace, but the maid remained silent. When asked, she would only say: "If you have any questions, please go and ask the Queen in person later."

She didn't want to get too close to Shen Yulou. Just looking at Shen Yulou's cuckoo clothes, she knew that Shen Yulou was going to be in bad luck. She would not flatter someone who would make the Queen Mother angry as soon as he entered the palace.

Please.

Shen Yulou had no choice but to give up.

It is late autumn now, and there is a deep coolness in the breeze in the air. Hundreds of flowers are still blooming in Kunning Palace. Looking around, you can see a cluster of flowers, so beautiful. At first glance, it seems as if you have mistakenly entered a spring garden. Under the sunlight,

More and more beautiful and moving.

The palace maid bowed to Shen Yulou and said, "The Queen and the Ninth Princess are in the Tingyu Pavilion now. Please go there by yourself."

Shen Yulou looked in the direction pointed by the palace maid, and saw Queen Hu dressed in a phoenix robe, elegant and elegant, and wearing a purple gold Zhai phoenix beaded crown. The sunlight fell on it and refracted elsewhere, with a dignified and sharp aura, but at this time

Sitting there, chatting with the Ninth Princess beside him, he felt quite gentle.

Shen Yulou lowered his head and looked at his clothes. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, he walked forward generously and said, "Your Majesty Shen Yulou, please see the Queen." As he said this, he lowered his head and knelt down, and said:
To be continued...
